    Julien Bringer - Sagem Sécurité

Cet exposé est basé sur des travaux communs avec Hervé Chabanne, David Pointcheval, Qiang Tang menés dans le cadre du projet ANR RNRT BACH (Biometric Authentication with Cryptographic Handling).<br/> Extended Private Information Retrieval (EPIR) is a generalization of the notion of Private Information Retrieval (PIR). The principle is to enable a user to privately evaluate a fixed and public function with two inputs, a chosen block from a database and an additional string. In this talk, we will present this notion and describe 2 constructions with applications to biometric authentication. We will then explain an extension of this notion in order to add more flexibility during the system life. As an example, we will introduce a general protocol enabling polynomial evaluations. As to practical concern, we will also discuss how amortizing database computations when dealing with several requests.

    I will present our key-recovery attack on the ACDGV public-key encryption scheme proposed at ASIACRYPT 2024 by Aragon, Couvreur, Dyseryn, Gaborit, and Vinçotte. The secret key is a Gabidulin code hidden by appending random rows and columns and by left- and right-multiplication with invertible matrices. Our attack exploits the resulting algebraic structure to recover an equivalent secret key. It[…]

    The Module Learning With Errors (MLWE) problem is the fundamental hardness assumption underlying the key encapsulation and signature schemes ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which have been selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography standardization. Understanding its quantum hardness is crucial for assessing the security of these standardized schemes.   Inspired by the equivalence between LWE and[…]
